Ok I have owned all three ipads, a galaxy 10.1 and an HP touchpad. As such I can give you my opinion on them in a fair manner. I currently own an ipad 3 but if I had to do it all over again I would buy an ipad2 (either refurb or used to save cash). The battery life on the 3 is not as good (its still good just not as good) as the ipad 2. Its thicker and heavier and takes an age to charge. It also seems to reload pages on safari more than the 2 did. The only benefit is the screen but the resolution of the ipad 2 isnt an issue and the colors are still excellent so it is better than the majority of laptop displays as it is imo. The added ram etc of the 3 is all eaten by the increased requirements of the screen so its no faster than the 2 is. I will probobly sell my 3 when the 4 comes out but I really hope they put a bigger charger with it because it takes far too long.
